I have had many brothers and never had a problem with the walking foot on any of them. Is your stitch length too short, is it the right foot for your machine. also are your sandwiches basted thoroughly. Don't give up I have quilted pot holders, my first quilt, and bags with my walking foot on all three of my brothers so I am thinking there is something wrong with the foot or you are just not sure how to use the foot. Maybe take it to your dealer and ask what you are doing wrong
